Contextual Overview

1 And his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place. And he made himself strong against Israel. 2 And he put an army in all the fortified cities in Judah, and placed command posts in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim which his father Asa had captured. 3 And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, for he walked in the first ways of his father David; and he did not seek to the Baals. 4 For he sought to the God of his father, and he walked in His commands, and not according to the deeds of Israel. 5 And Jehovah confirmed the kingdom in his hand. And all of Judah gave a present to Jehoshaphat. And he had riches and honor in abundance. 6 And his heart was exalted in the ways of Jehovah. And he again removed the high places and the Asherahs out of Judah. 7 And in the third year of his reign, he sent for his leaders, for Ben-hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, in order to teach in the cities of Judah. 8 And with them were the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites. And with them were Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. 9 And they taught in Judah; and with them was the book of the Law of Jehovah. And they went around to all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore the Lord stablished the kingdom in his hand,.... Piety is the best prop of government; the throne is best supported and established by truth, righteousness, and mercy; by the exercise of these Jehoshaphat was settled in his kingdom, and had a place in the hearts of his people:

and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; being well affected to him, as well as it was usual so to do at a prince's accession to the throne, see 1 Samuel 10:27

and he had riches and honour in abundance; through the presents his subjects brought him, and the respect they showed him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Presents - i. e. “free-will offerings,” in addition to the regular taxes. See 1 Samuel 10:27.
